REJECTED BUT LOVED (UPDATED)

REJECTED BY MY SISTER,

FROM WHOM I'VE ONLY ASKED FOR LOVE,

WONDERING WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

BUT IS IT ME, OR IS IT MY FAMILY?

THEN I'M TOLD BY THAT STILL QUIET VOICE

THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE BLESSING

OF THE HOLY GHOST.

(NOT THAT THEY NEVER HAD THE CHOICE.)

SHE DOESN'T HAVE JESUS,

SHE BELIEVES THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS

TO REACH GOD IN HEAVEN,

SO I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE SORRY

THAT 
SHE HAS REJECTED JESUS.

I'M THE ONE WHO IS LOVED,

I'M THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN FORGIVEN FOR MY MANY MANY SINS.

I WILL PRAY FOR MY SISTER,

I WILL PRAY SHE HAS THE NEED

TO SEEK
 JESUS CHRIST

AND HIS UNFAILING LOVE.

I KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES ME,

AND THERE'S A REASON FOR MY EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN,

BECAUSE IT DRAWS ME CLOSER

TO THE ONE WHO LOVES ME THE MOST -
MY KING.

JESUS LOVES ME

THIS I KNOW.

FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG.

WE ARE WEAK,

BUT HE IS STRONG.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.

THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

PLEASE DON'T LET THE STONES CRY OUT, CUZ THAT WOULD CREEP ME OUT (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

Acknowledge Jesus,

don't be afraid

to shout out His name.

He IS a loving God,

He does not want any of His children to perish.

So always praise His name in worship.

For there is a separation from God

for eternity,

which just makes me sorrowful and sad.

How can you live

without the Holy Ghost,

the living God,

Jesus Christ?

No matter what you do or say,

as long as you are here on earth,

you can repent and pray.

But there will be a time for all of us,

it could be today,

it could be tomorrow.

So while we have time,

happy or in sorrow,

the world desperately needs to hear the story

of God's forever love

from above.

He lives inside of you,

He lives inside of me

So while we have the chance,

We need to share the fact

of eternity.
Praise God before the rocks cry out!

LUKE 19:40

"I TELL YOU," HE REPLIED. "IF THEY KEEP QUIET, 

THE STONES WILL CRY OUT."

PROTECTED (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

I THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR SAVING ME

FROM COLLISIONS, A NEAR ABDUCTING

AND AUTONOMY.

EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT,

EVERY DAY IS NEW.

EVERY DAY I GET CONFUSED

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY JESUS SAVED ME
AND GRAFTED ME INTO HIS FAMILY TREE.

MY FAMILY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE

WHAT TO DO WITH ME

AND MY LITTLE HOBBY-
THIS THING WE CALL POETRY.
BUT GOD SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO

WITH SOMEONE WHO'S CONFUSED

AND LIKES TO WRITE ABOUT HER LIFE.

SO I SHARE THIS WITH YOU:

IT'S OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT

BECAUSE BEING THE SAME

WOULD BE EVEN MORE CONFUSING,
NOT TO MENTION BORING.

ROMANS 10:11 - EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.  

VISIONS AND DREAMS (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

WE NEED VISIONS AND DREAMS

AND HOLY PROPHECIES.

WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

WE NEED HIM IN OUR LIVES,

FOREVER AND EVERMORE.

HE'S THE COMFORTER,

JESUS ON EARTH,
BROTHER, SISTER,

FATHER, HUSBAND AND MOTHER.

WE NEED TO BE FREE TO EXPRESS WHAT THE COMFORTER HAS TO SAY,

NOT TO BE AFRAID.

EXPRESS WHAT GOD HAS FOR US,

SHARE WHAT'S ABOVE, BELOW, AND SURROUNDS US.

SPEAK HIS WORD,

SHOUT OUT TO THE WORLD.

VISIONS AND DREAMS

IS WHAT WE NEED.

1 JOHN 5:5

WHO IS IT THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD?

ONLY THE ONE THAT BELIEVES 

THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

HANG ON,

IT'S GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE,

BUT KEEP YOUR STRIDE.

BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE,

WISH UPON THE STARS

AND PRAISE THE GOD WHO MADE EARTH AND HEAVEN,

IN DAYS OF SEVEN.

WELL, HE RESTED AT THE LAST,

SO KEEP SUNDAY BLESSED

AND GO FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHERS,

GET THE SUPPORT YOU DESIRE AND NEED,

OR PLANT A SEED.

TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT JESUS

WILL GIVE YOU A GENTLE FEELING.

AND KEEP ON KNEELING

IN PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION.

IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON VACATION

WHEN YOU KEEP IN COMMUNICATION WITH GOD,

WHICH I'M PROUD THAT I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY

HOW MUCH I LOVE JESUS

WHO CREATED AND KNITTED ME IN THE WOMB,

KNOWS HOW MANY HAIRS I HAVE ON MY HEAD,

COLLECTS MY TEARS IN A BOTTLE

AND FIGHTS MY BATTLES.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW

THAT SOMETIMES CONFUSES

BUT KEEPS MY FAITH IN CHECK,

BRINGS ME CLOSER TO MY MAKER,

BECAUSE IT MAKES ME REMEMBER

THAT GOD NEVER SAID LIFE WOULD BE EASY

OR EVEN BREEZY.

HE TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE TRIALS

SO IT MIGHT BE QUITE A WHILE

WHEN I CAN SAY AGAIN

THAT I'M HEALTHY AND HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS.

BUT THAT'S OKAY

BECAUSE SOME SOON DAY

I WILL BE ABLE TO WORSHIP AT HIS FEET

AND WALK HAND IN HAND DOWN THOSE GOLDEN STREETS

WITH THE ONE I LOVE THE MOST.

BUT FOR NOW I'LL SETTLE FOR THE HOLY GHOST.

JOHN 14:26

BUT THE ADVOCATE,
THE HOLY SPIRIT,
WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME,
WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
AND WILL REMIND YOU OF EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID TO YOU.


.

Am I doing enough? (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

I write about the Lord

and all that He has done for me.

I write about the pain I endure,

and how useless it can be.

But is that enough?

Would others stronger than me

be standing on street corners,

signs ablaze,

standing around for hours without complaint,

proclaiming the love of the Lord?

It's so easy to say to strangers "Jesus loves you,"

then walk away

not asking about their lives.

I meet most people either in the doctor's office

or the Emergency Room,

so you know there is a story there.

But do I take the time to comfort, to emphasize?

Trust me, there are a lot of nurses out there who do not know the meaning of the word.

So if you see someone in pain, if they want to talk (and they usually do), take a minute to be the Jesus in their lives and love them a little.

It doesn't take long to give love.

MATTHEW 5:43-48
YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID, 'LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AND HATE YOUR ENEMY.' BUT I TELL YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU THAT YOU MAY BE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.   HE CAUSES HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND THE GOOD,
AND SENDS RAIN ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND UNRIGHTEOUS...

Broken Hearted (UPDATED)

I MISS THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE
WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US
EITHER BY CHANCE OR CIRCUMSTANCE.
MY ALREADY SHATTERED HEART
IS TORN IN TWO,
BLUE.
I FEEL AS IF I HAVE NOTHING LEFT
TO SAY OR DO.
SO I PUT MY LIFE IN THE HANDS OF MY LORD,
EXACTLY WHERE I BELONG.
I KNOW FOR SURE THAT JESUS KNOWS
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
HE HAS THE ANSWERS.

SO, LORD, PLEASE TAKE THIS DAILY PAIN AWAY
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
I CAN MAKE IT
THROUGH ANOTHER PAINFUL DAY.
WITHOUT YOU, JESUS,
I AM LOST.

PSALM 4:3

KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS SET APART HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT FOR HIMSELF;
THE LORD HEARS WHEN I CALL TO HIM.
